But the armchair managers are always "gonna manage". I'm a die hard fan as any... But I know enough to know that the people who get paid big money to make these decisions... Probably know more than I. I just enjoy the game. Win or lose.

I don't. Trudeau is well past his Canadian PM best before date. 8 years, two terms is basically as good as it gets. Some go a bit more but are gone shortly after. 10 years seems to be the best case scenario ceiling. (See Mulroney, Chretien, Harper)

Please continue to prove you are the DUMBEST most unhinged member of Congress (and that's saying something given its membership, both parties included), by shooting down random drones.

The real-time reporting of South Korea today was far easier to follow along on Bluesky than X. It’s these moments that define these platforms. Bluesky really does have the juice.

Have another drink Rudy. Its one of the most clear cut provisions in the constitution, but im sure this latest group of justices will find ample "reasoning" to assume framers intent on this one.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

This is something bsky needs to get some procedures for and soon. Some kind of verification system, similar to how twitter USED to do things me thinks. With the flood of new users and journos and what not, very important.

It's the next logical, big ticket item in my view. User base is exploding, and alot of people are coming on board or outright leaving twitter behind. They need verification so we can be sure they are whom they say.

I agree that this is a legitimate issue that Bluesky needs to prioritize. And I’m going to remain optimistic that their thoughtful staff will give it the focus it needs, and not kick the can down the road.

When the police coerced me into implicating myself in a murder I knew nothing about, little did I know they were following a method: THE REID TECHNIQUE. It’s used by police across the world to bully suspects into confessing. Protect yourself by learning how it works. /thread

I've been saying it for years. No one eats their own like the left does. All of their various sub groups, orgs and individuals align on basically 90% of items. The 10% they don't, they wont compromise or anything, just straight to the fighting. And yes, its why they'll keep losing.

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect. A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean? A short thread.🧵

Forgot to mention, he may not be from my party of choice, but myself and family LOVE Wayne. He will always have our vote in Niagara for as long as he's on the ballot. No question. His one election, where his team took the "attack" of "radical Wayne" and made it a meme was genius.

It's counterproductive, it's insulting and a turn off. I want my government to govern. Foster an environment of freedom of choice and expression. A flow of ideas. Provide guard rails for extreme behavior (racism, blatant bigotry) but that's all. Like I said, it's really hard to explain...

However, when calm minded, sensible people want to have the DISCUSSION about things like trans folks in sports and such... Just a discussion... Please don't come at me with "bigot! Transphobe" etc... which is how this governments discourse seems to go to.

In other words, where is the positive incentive for me to go Green? Have the carbon tax fund THAT don't just give me a pootsy rebate. Then again, individual behavior is such a small contribution to climate change so I question the point all together. (Also. I am in NO WAY a climate change denier)

3- Carbon tax. I don't oppose this measure straight up. The government can use the power of the purse to to disincentivize a behavior. However, wheres the other side. How about a at the checkout tax cut to buy an EV. Don't make me wait till tax time. Set it up to do it then. ...

The minute politics shifted so severely over to "the other side isn't the opposition, they're the ENEMY" is when I withdrew my participation. As for door knocking, once it got that bad, door knocking could actually be dangerous
